Abstract:
A prosthesis for the radius bone in the arm of a patient includes a head shaped for engagement with the capitellum of a humerus bone and the radial notch of the ulna. It also has a curved stem that extends from the head and is tapered with a distally decreasing cross section for insertion into the medullary canal of the radius. A system for implanting the prosthesis requires a resection guide for placing the forearm of the patient in a precise anatomical orientation for resection of the radius bone. The resection guide includes a notched alignment rod attached to an adjustable flange and a reference flange for aligning the forearm for a cut of the radius bone perpendicular with the axis of rotation of the radius bone about the ulna, and for measuring the size of the resection and prosthesis.

A61G015/00
US Classification:
128845, 600415, 600427, 5623
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for repeatably positioning a forearm at a plurality of angular positions for medical analysis. A forearm of a patient is positioned in a support channel within reach of a rotatable handle. The handle can be locked in a number of angular positions, providing a counteractive force as the handle is rotated. The patient rotates and applies a torque force to the handle at selected rotational angles. The forearm and wrist can be scanned in these locked position, and applied torque can be measured to evaluate joint stability.

US Classification:
128845
Abstract:
A device for positioning a subject's knee during an MRI scan. The device includes foot, knee, and thigh positioning apparatuses. Each of the positioning apparatuses can be translated and/or rotated to allow correct and consistent position of the subject's knee within the MRI magnetic bore. The device includes a user control to facilitate repeat measurements of knee characteristics with reduced intra- and inter-technologist variability.
